Rapé

What Is Rapé?

Rapé is more than just an incense. It is a shamanic powder deeply rooted in the traditions of Indigenous peoples. Made from tobacco and a variety of plant ingredients, it is traditionally taken through the nose to create a powerful experience of mental and spiritual cleansing. 

The uniqueness of Rapé lies not only in its preparation but also in its use. Rapé is primarily used for inner purification and for fostering a deeper state of awareness. Many users report feeling its effects immediately—opening the mind and freeing the body from energetic blockages.

How Rapé Is Made 

The production of Rapé is a spiritual act performed by Indigenous shamans with devotion and within a ceremonial process. During its creation, the shaman enters a deep trance and follows a strict diet. The powder is sung over and accompanied by prayers that give it healing and harmonizing qualities. 

Each Rapé blend is unique, crafted with great care and attention to the needs of its users. This deep knowledge and dedication make Rapé an extraordinary tool for spiritual practices and meditation. 

Depending on the tribe, Rapé is either used exclusively by shamans and chiefs for healing purposes or is shared among all community members during social rituals. Some cultures use Rapé regularly, while others reserve it for special occasions. 

How Is Rapé Used? 

Rapé is traditionally taken through the nose. The process uses a small pipe (Tepi) or a special self-applicator (Kuripe) that delivers the powder into the nostrils. The effect is immediate, and many users perceive it as cleansing and centering.  At this point, we would like to point out once again that we expressly offer our authentic Rapé for incense burning only.
